Wednesday, January 12, 2011 Uninsured Message: 1 From: Driving Standards Agency <drivingstandardsagency@service.govdelivery.com> Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2011 07:09:33 -0600 (CST) Subject: Uninsured drivers face new crackdown Uninsured drivers face new crackdown New powers to tackle uninsured driving will come into force within months, Road Safety Minister Mike Penning announced today. Under the new powers it will be an offence to keep an uninsured vehicle, rather than just to drive when uninsured. Currently every responsible motorist pays an average £30 each year within their premiums to cover crashes involving uninsured and untraced drivers. It is also estimated that uninsured and untraced drivers kill 160 people and injure 23,000 every year. Mike Penning said: "Uninsured drivers push up premiums for other motorists and often drive with no regard for other road users, so it is vital that we do everything we can to keep them off the roads. “More than 400 uninsured vehicles are already being seized by the police every day but it is simply not possible to catch every uninsured driver in this way. That is why we are bringing in these new powers which will help us to take targeted action while freeing up police time to deal with the hard core of offenders.” Ashton West, Chief Executive at the Motor Insurers’ Bureau, said: “Today’s news marks a significant step forward in the fight against uninsured driving. This means that as enforcement can take place for both keeping and driving a vehicle without insurance there will be no place for illegal motorists to hide. “Continuous Insurance Enforcement (CIE) will complement and run alongside existing police roadside enforcement, which has already reduced uninsured driving by 20 per cent.” Under the new system: the DVLA will work in partnership with the Motor Insurers’ Bureau to identify uninsured vehicles motorists will receive a letter telling them that their vehicle appears to be uninsured and warning them that they will be fined unless they take action if the keeper fails to insure the vehicle they will be given a £100 fine if the vehicle remains uninsured - regardless of whether the fine is paid - it could then be seized and destroyed Vehicles with a valid Statutory Off Road Notice (SORN) will not be required to be insured. The Department for Transport today made the Commencement Order to make it an offence to be the registered keeper of a vehicle which does not have insurance, as well as regulations to support this. Further regulations will be made shortly, allowing the scheme to come into force in the Spring. 6:13 pm gmt          Comments Monday, January 3, 2011 Happy new year to all. 5:35 pm gmt          Comments

A friend reccommended Carl Wasilewski, and on my first lesson he immediately made me feel comfortable, and not awkward like you do when you first meet someone! He is a kind, patient person, and a good teacher, who never shouts when you have made a mistake, or even damaged his wheels, like im sure i have on several occassions! If you are looking for someone who will get you through your test, and make driving fun then Carl definately has my reccommmendation!" *Sadie Glover - A previous learner* Hi Carl!!
